Case Study #81 - Beautiful

Hi! I hope you're having a great weekend. I just got back from my walk to clear my mind and get to business on this card for Case Study. It's really a beautiful day here in the Chicago area - the weather is warm and sunny and all the birds are beginning to return to the area. I saw Robins and heard the whirling sounds of the Sandhill Cranes overhead.

This week's inspiration photo card is from Laura Bassen. I love the clean look and the classic look of the black/white/kraft on her card. I kept a lot of the clean elements from her design - like the oval, black ribbon, and button and put my own little twist on things. I think you can easily see Laura's inspiration here. Case Study is one of my favorite places to play because I always get to try something new and I really enjoy seeing how all the entries start with the same inspiration idea and take it in so many different directions.

LOL, I do nothing but think of cards and card ideas when I walk. This card is so striking, the black and kraft. I love the way you made your bow and that SU ledger stamp is really great, so intricate. You always know how to interpret these Case Study pics, and this one is really, really good!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
